3rd Annual "All About the Family Gala"
On October 21, 2017 we will be holding the 3rdAnnual "All about the Family" Gala in support of the NICU families of Desert Regional Medical Center's Intensive Care Unit in Palm Springs, California: We need your help in joining forces to raise funds to support our NICU familes who need to stay at the Hanson House. We would like you to consider supporting us with a tax deductible donation that could be utilized toward our auction or to be a sponsor at our event.
Hanson House is a "home away from home" residence that offers housing with a
community kitchen availabe to parents of our Neonatal Intensive Care babies.
As our sick infants survive their first few days it is essential for the parents to be close by and bond. Studies have shown that being able to simply supply fresh breast milk can shorten the length of hospital stay and be the difference for a successful outcome. Our demographics include migrant farm workers from the eastern portion of the Coachella Valley, low-income familes from surrounding and distance cities as far as 2 hours away with no transportation, and military personnel from 29 Palms Marine Corps base. Our goal is to intervene at critical time and provide these parents a no cost opportunity for housing within a few feet of their infant.
